Spitfire Summer: When Britain Stood Alone

by Malcolm Brown

0267.00  155*240mm  207

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. Britain was never so near to defeat. Her people were never more confident that they would win. Holland, Belgium and France succumbed, but Britain evacuated her forces through Dunkirk and vowed to fight on. A German Jackal, Hitler, raged in Berlin. A British Lion, Churchill, snarled defiance in London. Dad's Army patrolled the shires, the Women's Land Army tilled the fields, housewives offered their saucepans to build fighters. When the German bombers came the Hurricanes and the Spitfires rose to attack them. It was the "Few" against the many and it was the Few who won. But the cost was high, in the air and on the ground, and a new word--"Blitz"--entered the language. There were shadows. Britain interned thousands of aliens, many deeply sympathetic to the British cause. Countless children were evacuated safely, though some seeking sanctuary overseas fell victim to German U-boats. But the nation survived, that very survival virtually guaranteeing the ultimate victory. This was truly Britain's finest hour.

Using powerful personal evidence in print for the first time, rich gleanings from the contemporary press and an impressive mix of posters, paintings and photographs, Malcolm Brown retells and re-evaluates the story of what has come to be known as the "Spitfire Summer" of 1940. The result is a gripping and moving account of the time when Britain stood alone.

The wisdom of Carl Jung

by Edward Hoffman

1478.00  140*210mm  230

 

 

 

内容简介:

Part of the Philosophical Library series, presenting the most important thinkers through the ages and their most influential writings. Alone among modern psychologists, Carl Jung ranks as a visionary. His groundbreaking approach to personality theory and psychotherapy was matched by pioneering work in the fields of inner growth, wholeness, ageing, and mystical experiences, and his theories continue to influence every aspect of our lives, from education to theology to popular culture. This title distils his expansive works into an essential volume that allows readers to contemplate Jung's fascinating ideas as he would have liked them understood - in his own words. Here are Jung's most intriguing and important writings on spirituality, imagination, religion, mythology, personality types, the collective unconscious, and the shadowy side of the psyche - insights that remain vital in our continuing quest to understand the human mind.

Myths of Creation

by Philip Freund and Milton Charles

1072.50  145*220mm  304

 

 

 

内容简介:

Myths of Creation is a classic study of mythology, religious belief and scientific theory on the origins of the universe that examines stories from all continents and ages - with all their startling similarities and contrasts - to reveal the workings of the human mind and imagination. Philip Freund provides revealing insight into the universality of ideas and faith by examining a wide range of texts such as the Old Testament, the Upanishads and Gilgamesh in his search for parallels between creation fables. Why should a Polynesian have a legend which is almost exactly like one told by a Nordic nomad, or a Brazilian Indian repeat a tale much like that of an Eskimo? He estimates, for example, that over 500 flood legends have been told by more than 250 tribes and peoples from around the world. Also here are clear presentations of the theories of towering figures such as Freud, Jung, Frazer, Campbell and Malinowski who have proposed variously that myths are primitive history based on literal fact, a means of expressing profound tribal wisdom and psychological and sexual truth or that they represent a search for kinship with the animal and vegetable world. This (still) controversial study will appeal to a wide group of readers - the naturalist who wonders about the origin of the universe, the fundamentalist who challenges Darwin's theory of evolution, the psychologist intrigued by Freud's and Jung's studies of the subconscious and the literature student who finds mythic parallels in texts widely separated by place and time. Fascinating and erudite, this revered book ranks among the select handful of core texts in any mythology collection.

Ladies of the Bedchamber: The Role of the Royal Mistress

by Dennis Friedman

1072.50  145*225mm  208

 

 

 

内容简介:

The 'ladies of the bedchamber' may not have all been ladies – in fact some of them may have been men – but anyone who has shared a bed with a reigning British sovereign or his heir has in more then one instance changed the course of history and to some extent affected, and also reflected, the attitudes of the time to contractual marriage. . . Sex addiction threads its way through the six hundred years of the British monarchy to the present day via the multiple heterosexual infidelities of Henry VIII and the homosexual infidelities of James I, to George I, the first of the hanoverians, who insisted that his mistresses always be fat, and James II, who liked his mistresses to be thin and fell in love with Arabella, daughter of Sir winston Churchill. Ladies of the Bedchamber examines the role played by the mistress, the concubine and finally commercial sex, the ready availability of which possibly protected the virginal sanctity of marriage in the years preceding today's less holy alliances. The book shows how sex addiction cast its shadow over the twentieth century from the accession of King Edward VII in 1901 to his and Mrs alice Keppel's great-great-grandchildren, and to Charles Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles today.

Science is Golden

by Ann Finkelstein

ISBN: 087013566X  150  2002.1

 

 

 

内容简介:

This book discusses how to implement an inquiry-based, problem-solving approach to science education. Finkelstein shows parents and teachers how to help students to investigate their own scientific questions. Rather than a set of guidelines for science fair projects, this book presents a method for helping students to expand their creativity and develop logical thinking while learning science. Starting with an introduction to the "brains-on method," this book explains brainstorming, experimental controls, collecting data, and how to streamline children's questions about science so that the questions define an experiment. Students will learn how to: ask good questions; clarify terminology; research, plan, and design experiments and controls; test assumptions; collect and analyse data; present results to others; and collaborate with adults.

 

帮助家长,老师在学生汲取科学知识时,引导培养学生的创造力与逻辑思维能力。
